Description

USA Today Bestselling Author Erin Noelle -xa0Holy crap, she completely blew me away with this book. xa0All I'm saying is read this book! It's fantastic. HEA Bookshelf Blogger -xa0It was captivating....I didn't want to stop reading. I devoured this book in one day Eye Candy Bookstore -xa0I almost don't know how to review this. It was so good and so different from anything I have read from Ashley, or anyone for that matter. Three Chicks and Their Books -xa0You will not regret this book, you need to read this book- ASAP, and then thank me later after you are finished. Ashley Suzanne has been writing as long as she can remember. As a youngster, she was always creating stories and talking to her imaginary friends. Thankfully, her parents also carried this love of fiction, and helped her grow into the writer she is today. Ashley is a bestselling author and spends equal amounts of time writing and reading. Being the true book whore she is, Ashley would rather dive into a good book before going out of her house. Giving up her career in Real Estate, Ashley has officially moved to hermit status. When Ashley isn't coming up with her next story, you'll most likely find her on the couch with a kindle in her hand (probably watching some crappy reality show while , annoying her husband by telling him all about her new book boyfriend or spending quality time with her two gremlins ... Sorry, I mean adorable children. You can find Ashley on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and/or her blog.

Letting my past dictate my future, allowing the best of the best male MMA fighters bully me day in and day out and knowing no matter what I do, Garrett will always be the only man that understands me. I didn’t have to live this way. One day changed the course of my life forever.Through all this mess, the one thing that I’ve found that keeps me centered … martial arts. And I’m damn good. If only someone would give me a chance to prove my worth.All I can do now is make the best of it and try to not let the fight consume me. Or has it already?

Ashley never disappoints!!!

Ashley never disappoints. This book was so fun to read, between the feisty young woman to the sexy boy she will love forever. No there weren't always fun or loving moments through this book but when they were present, you just bathe in it.

Rian is a young woman that had her life ripped apart piece by piece, between her abusive step dad and weak minded mother. I loved her character because she stayed strong and moved forward regardless of all her loss.

Garrett is the boy she lost but never stopped loving even though he was older than her. Garrett also had love for her even though she never knew. He is a military brat and chose to follow his fathers footsteps and that kept them apart. I loved Garrett because just like Rian he never gives up on those he loves!!

I will stop there because if not I'm afraid I will spoil this one for you. Ashley does such an awesome job describing everyone and everything in her books. You aren't left wondering and that is a big thing for me. Anyway, I'm anxious to move on to the next so bye for now ;)

She meets Garrett who is an outsider just like her, but it's just a matter of time ...

Rian grew up in a tough house, where she constantly had to defend herself. She meets Garrett who is an outsider just like her, but it's just a matter of time before he will leave her and hurt her just like everyone else in her life has done.

Rian has a lot a rage that she needs to let go of and she starts to train as a MMA fighter, and becomes Raven. She meets back up the Garrett the night of his engagement when she gets arrested and has no one else to call but Garrett's mom.

The emotional journey these two character take is heart-wrenching but underneath everything there is a friendship, second chances and hearts that never healed.
